===The Big Order Collab===

===The Big Order Collab===

On the 51st page [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=51#post-3303419 @Dittothewobly posted a huge order] and [https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/5627693/ @Alex11345 hosted a studio] for the order and @congyingzhou created a [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/320451/ collaboration topic] for the order. But this sort of thing is not recommended. It's better you make some things yourself, instead of ordering an entire complicated game system. Or you could split it up to several forms. The order collab died down since it was too hard.

===The Big Party===

+

This started on the 62nd page and it was successful due to lots of members active. The vote was part of it too (as seen below). 'Party' was invented due to 10K views, which happened on the 63rd and fueled the party. This is the '''biggest''' party '''ever''' on T.I.P.S.

+

====The Start====

+

The party sort-of started when @congyingzhou posted a [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=62#post-3322802 'crazy' post] saying that it was payment day. @pinkiepie710 fueled it by quoting the 'crazy' post and posting and [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=62#post-3322813 'crazier' post]. Then @Alex11345 joined by posting a [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=62#post-3322840 humorous 'wake-up' post]. Then directly after @Alex11345's post, @congyingzhou posted [[User:Congyingzhou/Team_Intelligent_Projects_Shop#The_First_Vote|the first vote]].

+

====The Growth====

+

After the vote, at the end of the 62nd page, @MystreyTurtle96 and @maskedmaruder voted thus joining the party making 5 members. @Aurafox12 joined by voting making 6 members. Then [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=63#post-3322897 @maskedmaruder posted a giant turkey] asking how thanksgiving was and starting a giant conversation.

+

====The 'Thanksgiving' Conversation====

+

There was some sensible chatting and lots of humor surrounding this conversation. But it was a small conversation but it led to a bigger one.

+

====The Invention of 'Party'====

+

This was seen first in [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=63#post-3322917 this post]. It was invented due to 10K views. That happened on the 63rd page. 'PARTY' became the third biggest trend on T.I.P.S.

+

====The 'Houses and Prices' Conversation====

+

=====Part 1=====

+

It was started by a [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=63#post-3322919 post from @Aurafox12] saying that Thanksgiving was great except that they were in a small room with tons of people. [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=63#post-3322925 @congyingzhou quoted the post] claiming that he thought his flat was the smallest thing in the world and he asked @Aurafox12 how big the 'room with tons of people' was. [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=63#post-3322928 @Alex11345 quoted @congyingzhou's post] saying he lived in a house with some land. [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=64#post-3322941 @Aurafox12 quoted @congyingzhou] and stated how big the room was.

+

=====The Joining of @NinjaCraft16=====

+

@NinjaCraft16 joined after @Alex11345's post and before part 2 during the conversation by voting.

+

=====Part 2=====

+

[https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=64#post-3322941 @congyingzhou quoted @Aurafox12] admitting that his flat was bigger than the 'room with tons of people' and saying that @Alex11345 was rich. This died down after [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=64#post-3322962 @congyingzhou's post] explaining why Hong Kong flats were so expensive. This died down because the topic switched to 'PARTY'.

+

====PARTY====

+

Although @congyingzhou had invented party a page or two ago, nobody noticed it. [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=64#post-3322947 @NinjaCraft brought it back on the 64th page] when he noticed it and quoted it. @Alex11345 quoted further and lots of users started chanting 'PARTY' and saying "don't break the chain".

+

====The Dying of the Big Party====

+

The party died on the 65th page when [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=65#post-3322992 @congyingzhou needed to leave] because his tablet's battery was too low. The party continued towards the middle of the 65th page with the posts being more and more sparse. It unofficially ended when [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=65#post-3323120 @dude341 first ordered at T.I.P.S.], which was almost '''one hour''' from the last post.

===[https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=62#post-3322843 The First Vote]===

===[https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=62#post-3322843 The First Vote]===

−

The first T.I.P.S. vote ever was held on the 62nd page. The ‘Assistant Orders/Events Manager’ spot was vacant. There were 4 hopefuls and at last @wafflelot- won at 5 votes.

+

{{Note | This is listed after 'the big party' because it started at the end of the 62nd page, while the party started on the middle of the 62nd page. Even though the vote fueled the party, it's not listed under the party because it's way more serious and important.}}

+

===The Huge Order Influx===

+

Following directly after the big party and 10K views, [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=65#post-3323120 @dude341 ordered three orders] on the 65th page. This led to a lot of orders coming. The [[User:Congyingzhou/Team_Intelligent_Projects_Shop#Unclaimed_Orders_Center|Unclaimed Orders Center]] now became very active unlike [[User:Congyingzhou/Team_Intelligent_Projects_Shop#The_Creation_of_the_Unclaimed_Orders_Center|before]]. [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=66#post-3323190 @pinkiepie710 immediately picked up on updating the UOC] after @dude341's orders. The old UOC looked like [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=66#post-3323194 this] (there's a mistake in the number, sorry).

[https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=67#post-3324156 The orders piled up soon] but they soon diminished, as [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=67#post-3324162 @NinjaCraft16] and [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=67#post-3324168 @MystreyTurtle96] quickly took one order each. Then [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=68#post-3324431 @congyingzhou took an order] and the unclaimed orders diminished down to 3 orders.

+

====''More'' Orders====

+

[https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=70#post-3325005 @dude341 ordered again] on the 70th page, and [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=70#post-3325016 ordered again] directly after that. [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=70#post-3325042 @maskedmaruder took one] quickly. Then [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=70#post-3325705 @employee_for_hire ordered a New Scratcher Box] which was [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=70#post-3326005 taken quickly by @WarriorCatLover1212] (now known as @Panda_Gamer1212). [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=71#post-3326081 @dude341 then ordered again] on the 71st page, and [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=71#post-3326096 @employee_for_hire ordered for a logo].

+

===New Box===

+

On the top of the 72nd page, [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/313844/?page=72 @congyingzhou announced the creation of the Christmas Box]. The reasons were:

Benefits

We will stick together and help each other in times of need (e.g. inactive-ness, orders too hard, spamming, not enough workers).

History

W-I-P

Before Opening

Before opening, T.I.P.S. was a studio where congyingzhou invited people to be workers. The majority of the workers did not join due to the confusion of shops and forums. But a few did and they formed the backbone of the early growth of the shop.

Opening

T.I.P.S. opened on the 30th of August, 2018. At the start it was all the information squeezed into one post. There were the basic forms and worker count and points, but there wasn't an order count or a Board of Directors. There were 10 departments, ported directly from the studio.

Early Days

In the early days of T.I.P.S. the shop grew slowly and there were few orders. There was no 'Unclaimed Orders Center' and few workers. The first customer was Gwideon. @Alex11345 joined, and became a main supporting pillar of the shop. The first activity check was held and it only said 'please respond before 15th or you'll be fired' and nothing else. The second activity check was more advanced and had a list of responded and not responded workers, and only resulted in a strike if the worker did not respond.

The Big 10+9=21 Meme Trend

This was the fourth/fifth biggest trend in T.I.P.S. and the first major one. Started by @legoboy7107, he claimed that 10+9=21. Lots of people said 19, some people said 21, and a select few said 0. It's the first meme trend in T.I.P.S.

Pages 20-30

The Ending of the Big Trend

What stopped the giant meme and math trend was a post from the user @MasterGenius_Youtube. It was further fueled by the vote held by @legoboy7107, who started the trend. The memes shut down and were moved to the T.I.P.S. memes and math chat. But it was closed down by the Scratch Team due to reasons.

New Main Workers

@pinkiepie710, @MystreyTurtle96 and @WarriorCatLover1212 (now known as @Panda_Gamer1212) joined and were very active, becoming main pillars of T.I.P.S.

New Activity Check

The third activity check was held and it was kind of like the second one expect for more workers and different date.

The Block Trend

There was a medium-sized [scratchblocks] trend during page 20-30 where users showed off their [scratchblock] skills by posting all kinds of blocks that were not in the project page. The trend was started by @Alex11345 and died down after 5 pages for no reason.

The Creation of the 'BBcode' and 'Signature Help' Departments

The departments 'BBcode' and 'Signature Help' Departments were created on the 30th page, and congyingzhou became the chiefs of both departments the day they were created.

The Board of Directors was created, which was inspired by the Emerald Shop. The early BoD had the positions: President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Marketer, Secretary and Assistant Secretaries. The members of the BoD were @Alex11345, @KDT123, @legoboy7107, @NinjaCraft16, @AuraFox12 and @aaa253 respectively. The BoD was created somewhere between pages 25 and 30 but it's so important in T.I.P.S's history it earned a part of itself, instead of being under the 'pages 20-30' title.

The Drill

The drill started on the 31st page to simulate if a worker mistreated a customer. @congyingzhou intended to reply to the 'rude' comment posted by @r_hello, one of congyingzhou's alternative accounts. But @Alex11345 responded to the comment and reported @r_hello as a drill which was even better. The vote was held by @congyingzhou and in the end 'no punishment' won.

The First Banner

The 60 Second Demon

The 60 second demon originated from @congyingzhou's post on the 35th page. It's the second biggest trend in T.I.P.S. and spread outside of the shop, through a lot of topics in the Requests forum, and a lot of shops started using it. Banner were created about it too. It even earned a place on the page Scratch Trends.

The Terms and Conditions were created on the 41st page and were to inform the applying workers of the rules of the shop and our ways. The applying workers needed to type in a code word in their worker form. The old code word was 'Cong Read'.

The Changing of the Code Word

The code word was changed at about the time of the 45th page because the old one was too strange (not that the new one's not). It will not be shown here for secrecy reasons.

The Big Party

This started on the 62nd page and it was successful due to lots of members active. The vote was part of it too (as seen below). 'Party' was invented due to 10K views, which happened on the 63rd and fueled the party. This is the biggest party ever on T.I.P.S.

The Start

The party sort-of started when @congyingzhou posted a 'crazy' post saying that it was payment day. @pinkiepie710 fueled it by quoting the 'crazy' post and posting and 'crazier' post. Then @Alex11345 joined by posting a humorous 'wake-up' post. Then directly after @Alex11345's post, @congyingzhou posted the first vote.

The Growth

After the vote, at the end of the 62nd page, @MystreyTurtle96 and @maskedmaruder voted thus joining the party making 5 members. @Aurafox12 joined by voting making 6 members. Then @maskedmaruder posted a giant turkey asking how thanksgiving was and starting a giant conversation.

The 'Thanksgiving' Conversation

There was some sensible chatting and lots of humor surrounding this conversation. But it was a small conversation but it led to a bigger one.

The Invention of 'Party'

This was seen first in this post. It was invented due to 10K views. That happened on the 63rd page. 'PARTY' became the third biggest trend on T.I.P.S.

The Joining of @NinjaCraft16

@NinjaCraft16 joined after @Alex11345's post and before part 2 during the conversation by voting.

Part 2

@congyingzhou quoted @Aurafox12 admitting that his flat was bigger than the 'room with tons of people' and saying that @Alex11345 was rich. This died down after @congyingzhou's post explaining why Hong Kong flats were so expensive. This died down because the topic switched to 'PARTY'.

PARTY

Although @congyingzhou had invented party a page or two ago, nobody noticed it. @NinjaCraft brought it back on the 64th page when he noticed it and quoted it. @Alex11345 quoted further and lots of users started chanting 'PARTY' and saying "don't break the chain".

The Dying of the Big Party

The party died on the 65th page when @congyingzhou needed to leave because his tablet's battery was too low. The party continued towards the middle of the 65th page with the posts being more and more sparse. It unofficially ended when @dude341 first ordered at T.I.P.S., which was almost one hour from the last post.

This is listed after 'the big party' because it started at the end of the 62nd page, while the party started on the middle of the 62nd page. Even though the vote fueled the party, it's not listed under the party because it's way more serious and important.

The first T.I.P.S. vote ever was held on the 62nd page. The ‘Assistant Orders/Events Manager’ spot was vacant. There were 4 hopefuls and at last @wafflelot- won at 5 votes.
